STOLEN !!!!

so today my point and shoot camera was stolen.

-canon silver point and shoot 510

-zoom lens (4x)

-strap

-256kb memory card

wasnt locked =(

haha but really it was stolen. some asshole decided to ask me if i was okay and then walked off with my camera as i was arguing with another asshole who cut me off, which led to me going head over heels. so today while i was working, going down bway, I get to 26 and i see this benz pull up to this parking lot. i was moving along with traffic when he decides to adjust and pull out without looking if anyone was in the bike lane, forcing me to avoid him which then led me to get pinned between a cab. my handlebars got tangled and came towards me which then stopped my bike in a instant. next thing you know i was on the ground, cam and cell as well. bike seat and handle bars twisted i get up and was seconds away to throwing my U through his window then i thought about getting arrested for the samething a month back so i decided to call the cops. in the between me arguing with dude, i see this walker walk up to me and ask me if im alright then walk away. i guess as he was walking away he saw my cam and walked off with it. if i see u on the st. you better hope u dont have dat camera on you.

cops came, dude was gone. filed a report, dropped two packages and then took the rest of the day off. f-ing dickhead drivers.

IF YOU SEE A SILVER BENZ with plates ISIAH54 delaware. break his mirror for me or at least let me know and ill do it …..

notes from the underground…. or, babies are cute.

La FamiliaWell as Dan just posted… a few of us were involved in a shoot over at the Bolger residence, which by the by I’m drooling green with envy for their amazing home, where hopefully we will be made into a deck of cards. I just received the group pic (attached above) with the most adorable baby I’ve seen in years. Little Kieran Wolf is beautiful. I am extremely happy for the three of them on the beginning of an amazing life as a family. Both Squid and Amy have shown already a lot of parenting skills in dealing with the knuckle  heads in our little family that I know.

Also, yay…. first blog on. Had a little trouble with signing in but thanks to Andrew, our amazing webmansuperdeluxe, the problem was alleviated.

Mash premiere alleycat & movie

Published by Chris on November 7, 2007 in General. 2 Comments

Probably the most anticipated track bike movie over made, the East Coast M.A.S.H premiere was finally here.

Some SF dudes made the trip for the premiere. this was awesome, because i wanna to see how they rode in NYC traffic.

The alleycat started at the polo courts (broome & chrystie/forsyth). With a good turn out in hand, i was siked to race because of the talent that had came out to participate. The likes of austin, yatika, dan and newcomer raf negron to name a few. After a delay waiting for a racer, race started just as quick as they said go, about 30+ racers were off !

first check point was Tompkins sqr. park, so i was the only one to hit essex/ave A. i got slowed down at houston st because i did not have the light. As this happened i saw the lead pack making the left onto Avenue A from houston. I knew i had to catch out quick if i wanted to be in contention. I got to the checkpoint and caught up to austin as he slipped and partially fell exiting Tompkins. Garret (mash) was with us as we raced up 1st. avenue and caught the rest of the pack. 2nd checkpoint being 52nd n 6th, we made da left on 23rd and headed up six. i followed dan wrong way up bway, to 24th to see austin and raf fly by going up six. With a half block lead, i lost the lead group in 6th ave traffic and i had to catch up. not really thinking, i went to 53 and 6th before i saw 2nd group (yatica & co.) roll in. 1st one out, i went down 52 and wrong way’d it up 7th to 55 and then wrong it up bway to the circle. thinking this over, i should of headed up six into the park all the way to lenox and 110. but instead i took Central park west all the way up. Fearing i was a good 5min back, i stepped on it to make some ground on dan raf doug n austin which would crash before heading to the upper west side CP’s. i hit lenox n 110 instead of skate park at 108 (in riverside) like the rest. i met up with doug along the way and went up riverside drive to 79 round-about. got on the highway and never looked back. bumper to bumper traffic def helped. doug sporting a da capability to coast took off on me about 57 ramp where the highway goes down to st level. with a 2-3 block lead i tried catching a skitch which was succesful for about ten blocks, but the mother driving the car politely asked if i could get of so i did. hahahaaa. doug nowhere in site i just tried to mantain good speed. at about canal raf rolls past me with some speed cruisin. i tried to catch up and maintained the fast pace he set in the middle lanes. making a pre-mature turn of the highway on barclay(i believe) and i made the turn on albany after all da WTC construction and ped traffic. hitting the CP 2nd and seconds ahead of raf i took off up exchange place, threw new and up broad st to wall. wall to water were i saw dan sprinting about 3 blocks behind me with raf right behind him. i was trying to lose, so i got off the saddle. rright at the Brooklyn bridge, i got jammed by a van and raf passed me but overshot the entrance. since i knew were i was goin i took second, luckily !

won some needed money (2 cash. $100 2nd nd $100 1st track), gshock and some kicks. swt !

Winter’s here, Training ensues…

Published by Shusaku on November 6, 2007 in General. 1 Comment

So winter’s here and I’m finally ready to get back on the bike again. Time to hit the gym at least 3 times a week and get back to riding 4 times a week. Spinning is the name of the game at this point. I’ve spent enough time off the bike for the past month, not completely of course, but enough to reinvigorate my spirit for next season. 3 1/2 more months till MONSTERTRACK 9, need to get fit. Hope it’s not wet again. I fuckin’ hated that shite. SPIN SPIN SPIN GYM GYM GYM, and the occasional party and show of course.
